psi got lower & lower

The ride yesterday was a story just like a couple days before it. I think Fridays will become another run following this week. Which will put the striding to biking ratio at 2:1 until we get significant powder and at that point I'll be substituting a nordic workout into the midweek slot.

Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes

Finally, talking about snow can be done around here now. I left home on the MTB just past high noon to make my way across town in the usual fashion by keeping it off road. Being able to go from the far corner of Lakeside to Hartley Park by only having to cross roads is great! The precip last night was a start but I'm not sure I'd say it was the first major snowfall to the winter ahead. Pedalling thru it made for just enough resistance w/o seeming cumbersome at all. Staying out a bit longer I noticed my tires were losing air from the cold temperature and I decided to play a hand of poker by not pumping them up before leaving the Nature Center to head back. I would return unscathed although my rims did take a few hits on rocks and roots.

Duration: 3 hours 25 minutes
